“SourceXchange is a member of the Collab.net network that has
been getting a bunch of press this month, especially with Sun’s
announcement that they’ll be opening the source to Star Office
(yes, I’m already on that mailing list, and I hope to be able to
help out with some documentation or code), and hosting the project
on Collab.net servers. SourceXchange offers quite a bit to the
budding and established open source developer, including peer
reviews, project hosting, spec writing and the chance to get paid
for your work.”
“We’ll get to the money in a little bit, but let’s take a look
at what else is there first. SourceXchange’s goal is to unite open
source developers with projects that fit a need. If you’ve taken a
look at some of the development boards recently, there’s a growing
list of developers who are looking for projects to work on. The
“what should I do now?” question seems to be popping up more
often.”
“You can view the RFPs and project invormation without
registering, but to really get the most out of this site, you do
have to sign up and work. If you want to be a part of a growing
interest in open source development by big business, you owe it to
yourself to register as a developer and get on one of these
projects. These projects may be substantially more than the Hello
World applets that we all know and love, but the compensation
offered is nothing to sneeze at either.”
